Check out the new Friday party brunch at Iris Yas Island

With a super-cool outdoor area, brilliant DJs and some of the most popular ladies’ nights in the city, we didn’t really need another reason to love Iris Yas Island.

But now that the stylish bar has introduced a Friday brunch, we’re happy to have another excuse to spend even more time at the Yas Marina hotspot.

Le Brunch is launching on December 21, and it’s bringing live cooking stations, a huge barbecue and creative mixed drinks to the capital.

Running from noon until 5pm (yes that’s right, a full five hours of eating and drinking), packages start from Dhs190 with soft drinks.

You can also upgrade to include house grapes and hops for Dhs240 or mixed drinks and premium beverages for Dhs290.

Or, if you’re arriving late to the party, you can take advantage of the after-brunch offerings, which run from 5pm to 9pm. This offers four hours of free-flowing grapes and hops for Dhs150, or bubbly, premium beverages and mixed drinks for Dhs190.

Alternatively, if you have staying power in abundance, you can opt for one of the nine-hour deals.

The All Day I Drink offer includes both the Le Brunch dining experience and after-party hops and grapes for Dhs300, while The All Star offer includes all that plus bubbly, premium beverages and mixed drinks for Dhs380.
